Positive experiences with local cobblers or jewelry repair?
Howdy neighbors!
Title says it but would very much appreciate any recommendations/reviews in the Bushwick area (and beyond tbh) for:
Jewelry repair:
I have a few pieces of (very much not high value) jewelry that need small repairs, mostly clasp replacements, etc.
I’d previously been recommended Edgar’s, but when I brought my stuff by they confirmed they only do gold soldering. My stuff could not be further from real gold lol.
I’m thinking just a mom and pop-style shop that could help me out with a few repairs.
Cobbler and/or handbag restoration:
I have an old-ish LV bag that could use some TLC, most importantly it needs the interior cleaned to remove a mildewy smell. It could stand some touch ups to the straps etc as well, but I’m hesitant about being upsold since I’m not that knowledgeable on leather restoration/cleaning.
Any positive experiences with leather bag restoration in the area? Maybe a tailor/dry cleaner would even be better suited for something like this?
Appreciate it in advance, thanks!
